Aim Greenland is one of the places on Earth where effects climate change are most evident. The retreat sea ice has made East more accessible for longer periods during year. fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due their remoteness, dense conditions and lack infrastructure. As a result, biological monitoring across latitudinal gradients scarce in relies sporadic research cruises trawl...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and stable isotopes of nitrogen (delta 15N) were measured in zooplankton (6 species), a benthic invertebrate (Anonyx nugax), Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida), seabirds (6 species), and ringed seals (Phoca hispida) collected in 1998 in the Northwater Polynya to examine effects of biological and chemical factors on trophic transfer of POPs in an Arctic marine foo...

Introduction Kongsfjorden is being impacted by climate warming, which has fostered the increase of abundance Atlantic fish (e.g. cod, Gadus morhua ), that are non-endemic for Kongsfjorden. The growth and high predation potential may affect survival polar cod ( Boreogadus saida native species Kongsfjorden, a with ecological economic value. This means it important to monitor impact change on fjor...

Abstract Juniperus oxycedrus L. and Pistacia lentiscus are two taxa with a rigid or enough structure caused by solid pericarp resulting in strong inhibition of the germination. The objective this work was to test effectiveness certain pre-germinative treatments on germination rate seeds aim restoring perturbed ecosystems. In context 180 from each 2 examined species were tested laboratory (the n...
